PHYSICIST SURVEY

The Indian Health Service is forecasting an annual physicist inspection contract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, targeting qualified small businesses to perform licensed medical physicist surveys. This requirement falls under NAICS code 334517, which pertains to medical equipment and supplies manufacturing, specifically indicating the need for technical expertise in medical physics to ensure accurate and safe operation of radiation-emitting devices. The inspection work will be conducted at facilities managed by the Indian Health Service without a specified location, meaning services may be required across multiple sites within the agency's jurisdiction. The solicitation is not yet active, as it was posted on May 25, 2026, and no solicitation number has been assigned, suggesting this is a pre-solicitation forecast for future procurement planning. Points of contact include Stephanie Mcalvain as the Program Point of Contact and Shelton Bruce as the Contracting Officer, both reachable through official Indian Health Service email addresses. All responses and inquiries must be directed through these individuals, and prospective contractors are advised to monitor the official OSDBU procurement portal for the formal solicitation release. The contract is expected to require a licensed medical physicist to conduct comprehensive annual evaluations of radiation safety and equipment performance, ensuring compliance with federal health and safety standards for patient and staff protection. The small business set-aside status emphasizes the agency’s intent to prioritize contracting opportunities for small business entities capable of delivering qualified medical physics services nationwide.
